This a 1932 Ford Tutor (not Teacher) Hot Rod parked my itself waiting on someone like me to admire. The bright red wheels and pinstriping against the matte black finish really made this one a real looker. This fine machine made an appearance at the 35th Ol’ Marais River Run Car Show held at Forrest park in Ottawa Kansas
Having revolutionized the automobile industry with the Model T, Henry Ford began to acquire a reputation for stubbornness—and one that was not entirely undeserved, as production of the basic “Tin Lizzy” stretched towards two decades. Looked at a different way, Ford simply preferred to refine a formula that worked, rather than reinventing it for the sake of novelty. The Model A of 1928 proved that Ford could still change gears when needed, however, and it was followed in comparatively short order by a new car that again could be called revolutionary: The 1932 Ford V-8.
The Ford V-8 was notable not just for its powertrain, though its legendary Flathead engine, initially producing 65 horsepower, at last brought eight-cylinder power to the people. Also crucial was the styling. In part due to the insistence of Edsel Ford, the Model A incorporated stylish touches all but absent on the utilitarian Model T; as the automobile market matured, it was clear that aesthetics, in addition to practicality, were beginning to drive new-car purchases. This notion was fully realized on the 1932 models, which were styled as a unified, harmonious whole. These were affordable, powerful cars that were also truly beautiful, right off the assembly line.
Much of the “Deuce” mythos is built on modified coupes and roadsters, which were readily used by blank canvases by hot-rodders and customizers in the post-WWII years, often to incredible effect. This 1932 V-8 Tudor Sedan serves as a reminder that these are immensely appealing cars, even in stock configuration.

A V Roe's Type 621 Tutor was a two-seat British radial-engined biplane from the inter-war period. It was a simple but rugged initial trainer that was used by the RAF as well as many other air arms worldwide.
The Avro Model 621 was designed by Roy Chadwick as an Avro private venture metal replacement for the Avro 504. Conceived as a light initial pilot trainer, the biplane design featured heavily-staggered equal-span, single-bay wings; the construction was based on steel tubing (with some wooden components in the wing ribs) with doped linen covering. A conventional, fixed divided main undercarriage with tail skid was used in all but the latest aircraft, which had a tail wheel.
The Model 621 was powered either by a 155 hp Siddeley Mongoose or Armstrong Siddeley Lynx IV (180 hp) or IVC (240 hp) engine; later Lynx-powered models had the engine enclosed in a Townend ring cowling (as seen above). The Mongoose-powered version was called the 621 Trainer and the more numerous Lynx-engined aircraft the Tutor. The Tutor also differed by having a more rounded rudder.
The first flight of the prototype G-AAKT was in September 1929, piloted by Avro chief test pilot Captain Harry Albert 'Sam' Brown.
Production was started against an order for three from the Irish Free State and 21 Trainers from the RAF. The RAF required a replacement for the wooden Avro 504 (see elsewhere in my stream), and after three years of trials against other machines such as the Hawker Tomtit it was adopted as their basic trainer, supplanting the 504 in 1933 and remaining in this role until 1939. As well as the 21 Trainers a total of 381 Tutors and 15 Avro 646 Sea Tutors were eventually ordered by the RAF. RAF units to operate the type in quantity included the RAF College, the Central Flying School and Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5 Flying Training Schools.
Subsequently, the Model 621 achieved substantial foreign sales. A V Roe and Co exported 29 for the Greek Air Force, six for the Royal Canadian Air Force, five for the Kwangsi Air Force, three for the Irish Air Force (where it was known as the Triton) and two for each of the South African and Polish Air Forces. In addition 57 were licence built in South Africa, and three licence built by the Danish Naval Shipyard.
A total of 30 Tutors were exported to the Greek Air Force and at least 61 were licence built in Greece by KEA. A number of Greek Tutors was incorporated in combat squadrons after Greece's entrance in WWII, used as army co-operation aircraft.
Known for its good handling, the type was often featured at air shows. Over 200 Avro Tutors and five Sea Tutors remained in RAF service at the beginning of WWII.
The 621 was designed as a military trainer and few reached the civil registers. In the 1930s, in addition to 10 prototypes and demonstrators, two were used by Alan Cobham's Flying Circus and two trainers were retired from the RAF into private use. One 621 was used from new by Australian National Airways. After the war another four ex-RAF 621s appeared on the civil register.
G-AHSA (above) was used for communication duties during WWII, struck off in December 1946 and purchased by Wing Commander Heywood. After suffering engine failure in the early stages of the filming of Reach for the Sky, it was purchased by the Shuttleworth Collection and restored to flying condition.
Up to the end of 2003, G-AHSA was still flying as K3215 in RAF trainer yellow. Since January 2004 it has flown painted as K3241 in the colours of the Central Flying School. (The real K3241 built in 1933, served RAF College Cranwell, until transferred to the CFS in 1936.)
Seen tucked-in for the night after the Shuttleworth Collection's 2015 Wings and Wheels Show.

When I visited Canada in 2017, I knew I'd see a Canadair Tutor at long last, a type that was introduced into service in 1964 and a small number are retained for use by the Snowbirds aerobatic team.
This one is 114155.
